In a decisive blow against terrorism, Pakistani security forces have successfully eliminated four terrorists in the Kalat district of Balochistan. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military's media wing, confirmed the operation on Saturday, revealing a direct link to India's intelligence agency, RAW.
Operation Details and Fierce Exchange of Fire
The intelligence-based operation (IBO) was launched in the Hoshab area of Kalat after credible information was received about the presence of terrorists. According to the ISPR statement, the security forces effectively engaged the terrorists' location during the operation.
A fierce exchange of fire ensued, resulting in the elimination of all four terrorists. The military's media wing reported that a significant cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives was also recovered from the slain terrorists. This seizure is expected to disrupt future planned activities of the terrorist network in the region.
Indian Intelligence Agency's Involvement Exposed
The ISPR statement was unequivocal in attributing the terrorists' activities to foreign sponsorship. It declared that the killed terrorists were actively involved in numerous sabotage activities and terrorist attacks against security forces as well as innocent civilians.
More significantly, the statement provided concrete evidence of external meddling. "The killed terrorists remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as innocent civilians. The killed terrorists were also responsible for the killing of innocent citizens, in addition to attacking installations of security forces," the ISPR stated.
It further revealed, "Evidence also revealed that the killed terrorists were linked with the Indian intelligence agency, RAW." This confirmation underscores ongoing concerns about cross-border terrorism and foreign interference aimed at destabilizing Pakistan.
Sanitization Operation and Pakistan's Resolve
Following the successful engagement, a thorough sanitization operation is currently underway in the surrounding area. The purpose of this follow-up action is to hunt down any other terrorists who might be hiding in the vicinity, ensuring complete clearance of the threat.
The ISPR, in its communiqué, reinforced the nation's unwavering determination. It stated that Pakistan's security forces remain determined to thwart all attempts by foreign-sponsored elements to undermine the peace and stability of the country. This operation in Kalat is presented as a clear testament to that resolve.
The local population in the area has expressed its full support for the security forces' ongoing efforts to rid the region of the menace of terrorism. Such operations highlight the continued threat posed by externally supported terrorist networks and the robust response from Pakistan's armed forces to protect national security.
